You won’t find a more controversial film in Silicon Valley than_ The__Social Dilemma_. The film, now available on Netflix, features confessions from early consumer internet employees who rue the destruction their inventions have wrought.

The film’s portrayal of social media causing conflict, isolation, nationalism, and disaster has resonated with a broad audience. But tech insiders say it’s guilty of many of the practices it decries, stoking fear and outrage in exchange for mass appeal.

To address the film and its critiques, Tristan Harris, its star and the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, sat down for an interview on the Big Technology Podcast with no questions off limits.

Kantrowitz: Let’s start with your life. Your house burned down in the middle of the California fires. Is that right?

Harris: Yeah, That just happened a few days ago. We are reeling from that. It’s a pretty, pretty significant event.
